The IGAsorp-XT from Hiden Isochema is a device used for moisture sorption measurements at different temperatures.
The device is a high temperature version of a typical IGAsorp. It allows accurate and rapid analysis of kinetics and uptake mechanism involved in moisture sorption at high temperatures. The IGAsorp-XT is integrated with a unique sample thermostating technology, which allows it to set a greater partial vapour pressure compared to IGA or IGAsorp models.
Key Features
The main features of the IGAsorp-XT are:
- Fully automated system which perfoms isothermal, isochoric and temperature-programmed experiments
- User protection function enables sample loading at elevated temperatures
- Linear ramp temperature control for thermogravimetric studies up to 350°C
- Isothermal temperature measurement and control range from 5°C to 250°C
- High-resolution control of water partial pressure at high temperature
- Large capacity microbalance with 0.1 µg resolution and long-term stability
Applications
- Pore filling determination
- Geological science
- Fundamental water sorption studies
